In what is a new senior organisational position reporting into Managing Director Graham Russell, Chris will oversee Viessmann’s complete UK sales operation, covering domestic and commercial sales of all products and services within the company’s Climate Solutions division.
Chris has previously held sales and business development leadership positions at Vaillant, Stiebel Eltron and Plumbing Trade Supplies (PTS).

Working for an organisation with family values and the ambition to develop future-oriented solutions was at the forefront of my decision to join the Viessmann family.”
“With Chris’s appointment, Viessmann is taking another fundamental step forward in the UK,” says Graham Russell. “Chris joins our business with vast experience of the heating industry and more importantly, the heat pump market. Chris’s technical knowledge and commercial awareness of the market will be a huge asset to Viessmann.”
